The sudden appearance and unlikely connection of the sinister Mr. Edward Hyde to the amiable Dr. Henry Jekyll troubles Jekyll’s friends. The more they discover about Hyde, a man as elusive as he is venal and cruel, the greater their concern. Matters lurch out of control when Hyde is revealed as a murderer and Jekyll seems to be protecting him. The revelation of Hyde’s terrible connection to Jekyll has become a cultural archetype but has lost none of its uncanny power on the page.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde first appeared in 1886 and was an immediate sensation. More than 130 years and dozens of adaptations to stage and screen later, the story retains its primal power. A twisted mystery, a gothic horror story, a psychological thriller, it is all of these things and rises above each with its unforgettable vision of human consciousness as a battlefield between good and evil.

Om författaren
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish author of novels, travelogues and poetry. Afflicted from an early age with an illness that affected his lungs, Stevenson still traveled the world and produced several iconic examples of adventure fiction, including Treasure Island and Kidnapped as well as a beloved collection of poetry for the young, A Child’s Garden of Verses. The author’s vigorous style and clear eye for character ensured that many of his creations, Long John Silver, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde among them, have become literary immortals.
